Stowe Mountain Resort is a ski resort in the northeastern United States, near the town of Stowe in northern Vermont, comprising two separate mountains: Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. The lift-served vertical drop of Mount Mansfield is 2360 ft, the fifth largest in New England and the fourth largest in Vermont.

History

Alpine skiing came to Vermont when the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) cut the first trails on Mount Mansfield in 1933. The National Ski Patrol was based on the Mount Mansfield Ski Patrol, the oldest in the nation founded in 1934. Stowe Mountain was also the first ski area in Vermont to have a single chair, which was installed by American Steel & Wire Company in 1940. Stowe was the second area in New England to have a chairlift, the first being Gunstock in 1937. The "Mansfield Single", was the first lift in the Mansfield area.

Stowe Mountain Resort was long owned in its entirety by the Mount Mansfield Company. It in turn was owned since 1949 by insurance mogul C.V. Starr, founder of the American International Group. until selling ski-related operations and facilities at the resort to Vail Resorts on February 21, 2017. AIG and the Mount Mansfield Company will retain the Stowe Mountain Lodge, Stowe Mountain Club, Stowe Country Club and other real estate owned and held for potential future development.

With $37 million in revenue during Winter 2007–08, Stowe placed second to Killington Ski Resort's $37.3 million in Vermont.

Terrain and Lifts

The average annual snowfall at the resort summit is approximately 224 in.

The ski area is composed of Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. Some 116 trails on Spruce Peak and Mount Mansfield provide 40 mi (485 acre) of skiable terrain.

Ahead of the 2011–2012 season, Stowe replaced the FourRunner high-speed quad with a new high-speed quad, constructed by Doppelmayr USA. The Sunrise Six also replaced the Mountain Triple in 2022.

Lifts

Stowe has a total of 10 chairlifts. There are 6 on the Mansfield side, and 4 on the Spruce Peak side. The Over Easy gondola connects both areas of the mountain.
